The Rising Voices Project is a 2022 initiative that focuses on the written word to convey Important issues impacting up on young women in today’s society. Providing a beacon for their voices to be heard & understood through the female lens. ‘Words have energy & power with the ability to help, to heal & to humble’. (Huff Post, 2014. Jason Taylor Foundation, 2017). GateMinds asked a collective of young females to write about something they believe heavily impacts upon females in today’s contemporary society. What is evident from their responses is a common underlying theme of gender inequality that exhibits itself through various forms; societal structures leading to an imbalance of power, oppression, violence and body image expectations that in form how we should behave and present ourselves to the public eye.
